Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule Endoscopy

The physicians at Gastrointestinal Specialists offer M2A Capsule Endoscopy to their patients.

The M2A Capsule is easily swallowed, travels painlessly through the digestive tract, and is naturally passed from the body. On its journey, the M2A captures and transmits video images to a wearable recorder worn by the patient. When the test is complete, the data is downloaded from the recorder to a computer workstation where a physician can view the results.

The M2A Capsule is part of the Given® Diagnostic System, which is intended for the visualization of the small bowel mucosa. Capsule Endoscopy is a standard test for the detection of small bowel abnormalities.
